According to official data, the weight of the Proton X70 varies depending on the vehicle model configuration. Its kerb weight ranges from 1,650 kg to 1,725 kg, specifically depending on the drive mode (front - wheel drive or four - wheel drive) and optional configurations. For example, the four - wheel drive version is slightly heavier due to the added transmission system.
This SUV uses high - strength steel and lightweight design. While ensuring the rigidity of the vehicle body, it optimizes fuel economy, making it suitable for the diverse road conditions in Malaysia. For consumers who intend to buy a car, it is recommended to experience the impact of different configurations' weights on handling during a test drive. For instance, the heavier four - wheel drive version has better stability on slippery roads, while the front - wheel drive version is more fuel - efficient.
In addition, the vehicle weight also affects the calculation of the annual road tax. The road tax standard in Malaysia is mainly based on the engine displacement, but car owners still need to pay attention to the potential impact of the vehicle weight on tire wear and braking distance, and conduct regular maintenance to ensure driving safety.
